In Attendance Due To Make-Up’s: Janice, Deborah

 

Guests:  Forest Dunbar, Rocky Point Rotarian for 27 years, Gift Of life Director for the past three years. Glenn Frost, also a member of the rocky point rotary for many years. Thank you Forest for that heartwarming presentation on your and Glenn’s trip to Honduras to help save the lives of many children.  

 

Topics of Discussion:

 

Muriel would like to have a steering committee to find an individual to be in charge of fundraising for the auction.  Steve Fuoco suggested combining the auction with the Fuoco golf outing and auctioning the items there.  This year that is what will be done – the golf outing is September 17^th.

 

Camp Board meeting - The opening on the camp board has been filled by Rich! Congratulations Rich!

Muriel discussed the expansion of the T building and Werner mentioned that the permit will be issued in a few weeks.The kids will be in for the first round of campers on June 29^th.  Muriel and Barbara hung the drapes and the place looks  GREAT!

 

Budget Meeting -  The budget meeting at Bob’s house went well. There will not be an inbound exchange student this year but we will pay the stipend to the hosting club. There were a lot of good ideas including holding the Billy Joel show at Rock Hill again. It was sold out last time and we could possibly do the auction there.

 

MURIEL’S LAST MEETING AS PRESIDENT – is NEXT WEEK – everyone should make an effort to attend.  Technically she won’t hand over the GAVEL (wherever it may be) to Bob until the following week but I think Muriel has something up her sleeve for next week.  If you can’t make it PLEASE EMAIL MURIEL before the meeting !!!!

Dues are due on 6/15.
